The second playground is closer to the boat dock and boat rentals. More Playgrounds in Northern Virginia in this blog post.
3) Miniature Train Rides
Riding the miniature train at Burke Lake Park is a wonderful family memory! Rides are $4 per person on weekdays and $5 on weekends. The ride takes about 10-15 minutes and you get to go through the woods on a little red train. I love the Train Depot in the woods right next to the carousel and playground. Closed November to April, see opening hours here. More details on the DMV with Kids Database here.
